Testimonials Teachers participating in our programme describe the School Enterprise Challenge as a brilliant platform for students to develop core 21 st century skills. Some of the students have actually started their own organic farming at their home. Those students parents came to us and were really happy and content with the enthusiasm their children have shown towards the project. I am so thankful that this school have initiated such a great program to develop practical skill within the students. I want to thank the School Enterprise Challenge for coming up with such a great concept. Teacher, Arjun Boarding High School, Nepal The aspect which I personally have enjoyed the most is implementing the business plan as it made me realize the surprises which we were not able to foresee while planning. I also enjoyed distributing the work according to the potential of my team members. While implementing our ideas we became trouble-shooters of unexpected challenges. It is a very important life skill which I think should be acquired by all. Student, Kulachi Hansraj Model School, India
